Barbados has announced plans to establish a medicinal cannabis industry project implementation unit tasked with establishing the administrative framework for the timely implementation of the project. Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who delivered her Administration's 2019-2020 national budget, said the unit will be headed by a director, who will be responsible for championing the programme and ensuring that an expansive educational and sensitisation campaign is implemented. One of the tasks of the unit will be to facilitate the establishment of a Medicinal Cannabis Authority and Board, which will be responsible for regulating the medicinal cannabis industry.

Does it still serve its purpose or is a reform of the UN Drug Conventions needed? This site provides critical background.
